I don't want to offend you, but James R is right. There is a world of knowledge out there that we have not yet discovered, but there is also a very large amount of knowledge already accumulated regarding the origin of our universe.
I also spend time studying this aspect of cosmology and in doing so I have found how little I know of all sciences, which tends to frustrate me no end. I would love to know everything that has already been discovered and from that knowlege I can theorise all I want, but the truth of the matter is that in our lives we probably will not know the secrets of the universe.
I remember being told at school that the atom was the smallest particle there is (and I believed my teachers - as you would - being a kid) however when it was discovered that man had split the atom I realised that knowledge is constantly growing. We need to question everything.
The same with religion - being told that Adam and Eve were the first humans to walk the earth by teachers that I trusted were telling me the truth, proved devastating when a few years later, a history teacher laughed at me for believing in such rubbish in front of the whole class.
You might well believe everything you are writing on these forums now, but I'd like to urge you to keep an open mind. The universe to me is a wonderous topic, and I would imagine that the true scientist never stops asking questions. Please don't take this the wrong way, but don't limit yourself to what you have learned so far, for there is much to learn.
Stay healthy
